Indiana lawmakers weigh in on Trump’s Inauguration
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — Several Indiana lawmakers made their way to Washington on January 20, to see President-Elect Donald Trump take the oath of office once again and become the 47th president of the United States.
“Well, today is a new day in America and despite the frigid temperatures outside, the enthusiasm in and around here in Washington, but around the country is absolutely off the charts and it’s a new day where we will turn a page. We will restore American Prosperity here at home. We will see the southern border and we will ensure that our enemies fear us and that our allies respect us,” said U.S Rep. Rudy Yakym, Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District.
“I am excited. It’s going to be a great day for America and it’s a great day to have our new president and have him do the things that he’s been talking about all along in the campaign Trail. And now, it’s time to get to work and get it done. And the folks back home, they appreciate that too. They want us to get to work and get it done,” said U.S Rep. Jim Baird, Indiana’s 4th Congressional District.

Rep. Yakym and Rep. Baird also expressed excitement about the plan for a second Trump administration and executive orders the president-elect plans to enact in his first day in office.
“One of the first things that President Trump has promised to do is to seal the southern border under President Biden. We had an open border policy for four years where we saw over nine million. People come across the southern border illegally and President Trump has committed to sealing the southern border. I know that a number of his executive orders are designed to do just that,” said Rep. Yakym
“He’s talked about 200 executive or more than 200 executive orders and I think that’s going to be interesting, but the primary thing is, probably closing the border, Tom Holman and his activities, I think are going to be very important to this country. And when we do that, I think we’ll have an opportunity to really work on the inflation and the energy aspect of what’s been going on and move that forward,” said Rep. Baird.

The swearing-in of Donald Trump will take place at Noon EST on January 20. The main ceremony will take place in the Capitol Rotunda after being moved inside due to cold temperatures. The last time the swearing-in was moved indoors was in 1985, when President Ronald Reagan began his second term.

Many Republican lawmakers in Indiana have been vocal supporters of President Trump throughout his presidency, praising his policies and accomplishments.
